About Aqua Gulf
Aqua Gulf is Mezzan's bottled water brand in Kuwait, launched in 2003 and, by the company's own account, the only water brand in the country drawn from a local source rather than imported. Water is one of the few categories where Mezzan both manufactures and sells under its own name in a market otherwise crowded with the international brands it carries on behalf of their owners.

About the owner: Mezzan Holding
Mezzan Holding is a publicly listed company headquartered in Ardiya, Kuwait, founded in 1999. Brandtree records 7 brands under its control, and it is listed as Boursa Kuwait: MEZZAN.
Mezzan Holding is a Kuwaiti food, healthcare and consumer products group whose own reports trace its origins to the 1940s, when Jassim Mohammad Ali Al Wazzan opened a retail store in Kuwait's Altararih Souk selling rice, sugar and other staples. The present holding company was incorporated on 3 August 1999 and listed on Boursa Kuwait on 11 June 2015. It manufactures and distributes more than 34,000 stock keeping units through 34 subsidiaries and around 6,700 employees in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Iraq. Most of the names it carries belong to other companies: its brand list is dominated by products it distributes for their owners rather than makes.
